Incurable Disease of Writing

Welcome to the November 20, 2009 edition of Just Write, your one stop shop for links to writing and book related blog articles. Enjoy and remember to show the blog owners we appreciate their hard work, comment and socially bookmark your favorites.

As mentioned in previous editions, we have some exciting things planned for the carnival in the near future. Next week is our Two Year Anniversary. We’ll be celebrating with a book giveaway – The Great Christmas Bowl by Susan May Warren compliments of Vicky Lynch of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. It’s a great little book that I enjoyed very much. Could be a perfect Christmas gift for someone on your list! 2010 will bring sponsorship from publishers along with weekly book giveaways. If you haven’t made the Just Write Blog Carnival a regular stop, now is the time to do so.

Authors/Poets-Interviews/Bios

Jim Murdoch presents Beckett the tinkerer (part two) posted at The Truth About Lies, saying, “A look at various productions of Samuel Beckett’s play ‘What Where’ and a consideration of why he made the changes he did to his own productions. The post also includes a short video of Beckett talking about the play and a picture of a page of the play in Beckett’s own handwriting. ‘What Where’ is considered by many to be a political play but is that the case when we see how he staged the play himself?”

Jim Murdoch presents The Wrong Miracle by Liz Gallagher posted at The Truth About Lies, saying, “This is book about ordinary things, getting you hair done, having breakfast, going to church and eating gobstoppers. It’s about childhood, the strain of being part of a family, the joy of sex, the question of love, the problems surrounding married life and life’s little and not-so-little losses. It is about art and music and what was on TV last night. It is about all those daily miracles and disasters that make up an ordinary life.”

Writing Resources

Bruce presents Overcome the biggest barrier to good writing: time posted at A Blog about Writing Clearly, saying, “”Overcome the biggest barrier to good writing: time

Many of us know how to make our writing clear, concise, and appealing.

But looming deadlines mean that we must often settle for less than our best. While you might go through a dozen drafts of a cover letter or an application essay, you can’t do the same for that report or memo due tomorrow.”"
